Hello all, and welcome to my new blog. I hope you will be patient with me as this my first attempt at this (both blogging and getting married).
As you may have guessed by now, the main focus of this will be my upcoming nuptuals. I will attempt to share with you the Herculean trials and tribulations I expect to face while we plan what is (as you will soon find out) a very small and simple wedding.
I guess technicaly step one is finding a nice girl, and I did that a couple of years ago. I won't bore you with all the details of our courtship, we met at a bar/had drinks/made out on dance floor/phoned her the next day/moved in together a week later/ two years later reached step two "The Engagement".
Was it a wonderful romantic proposal? Hell no!! It was a couple of nights before Christmas, we were laying in bed in our jammies (and I don't wear jammies, sorry if that is too much info, but it is true. I am just trying to set the mood in your mind). Having had the ring hidden away in my gun safe for the previous month, I got impatient and couldn't wait one more day to propose on Christmas Eve the way I had planned. So....... I did everything in my power to trick, joke and cajole the misses (to be) into asking me to give her her present early. So, out from under my pillow, appeared a small but pretty diamond. She said yes, we both shed a couple of tears, hugged, laughed, smilled, did a couple other things, went to sleep happy.
That was three weeks ago, and now I have decided to try this blog thing and share with you as we work our way towards getting married.

Welcome to the blogoshpere Tom! And also, welcome to the fun of planning weddings! My main piece of advice would be two-part: 1) Try to stay laid-back about the whole thing, & 2) Remember, this is just a small part of your marriage, not the whole thing (I think you've both got this concept down as you're not having a sunset wedding ceremony at the Banff Springs Hotel with 600 guests & releasing live doves or butterflies or something over the top like that) (Although if you - OR THE KIDS - have live doves or butterflies, you probably should release them live.) (Maybe keep the butterfly as an indoor pet until spring though.)
PS: Congratunuptialations!
